An existential comedy about a half-Arab, half-Jewish Israeli from Haifa, Day After Day is the second installment of Gitai’s city trilogy. Renowned Israeli actor Moshe Ivgi portrays a forty-something only son who is quietly accustomed to his job in the bakery owned by his parents and takes life as it comes along. Yet change seems imminent everywhere, and it’s only a matter of time before Gitai’s protagonist will be forced to confront some realities about himself and his future. Day After Day received an award for Best Feature Film at the 1998 Jerusalem Film Festival, where it was cited for its "personal, ironic, and intense approach to the relationships which reveal the structure of Israeli society."
